Question

Of the $2000$ persons of a town, $60$% are males of whom, $20$% are literate. If of all the person $25$% are literate then what percent of other than males of town are literate?

Answer 1

Total persons $=2000$

Males $=60\%$

$=\frac{60}{100}\times 2000$

$=1200$

$\Rightarrow$ Illiterate males $=\frac{20}{100}\times 1200$

$=240males$

$25\%$ of total are literate -

$\Rightarrow$ Total literate $=\frac{25}{100}\times 2000$

$=500$

$500$ literate persons, $240$ males, $260$ females

$\Rightarrow \frac{260}{2000}\times 100=13\%$

Hence, the answer is $13\%.$
